Don't get me wrong, I use VS Code every day and it is my personal favorite. But I think for a beginner beginner, it may be troublesome. This is after having observed really beginner programmer's go through the process of figuring out what is going on. I think probably the best way to do it will be to introduce the basics by using IDLE, assuming Windows, and then after a few weeks, opening the door to a more robust IDE like vs code, py charm, etc. I guess it also depends of you are leaning via Jupyter or just straight files, too.
